Building off my AusCities feed, I've put together a starter pack of urban thinkers, advocates and journalists across Australia and New Zealand.

Disasters are political. Risk creation is political. Risk reduction is political. Emergency management is political. Disaster science is political. Pretending it isn’t gets people killed and communities destroyed.

I decided to get in on the starter pack game, with this pack of extreme weather + climate scientists for those working on the intersection of climate change, extreme weather events, and climate risk. Please send suggestions and let me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/8PWHjpx
